[Xastir] Xastir-1.9.6

[Lee Bengston]

Looking through the "bag of tricks", I found a PCLinuxOS 2009.2
virtual machine from August of this year.  I also found I had kept
track of what libraries had been installed for Xastir.  I launched
Xastir, and it went right to the station configure screen.  I closed
that window, and did a help-about, and it said it was compiled August
5th, 2009, but the window with that information was a very wide
rectangle covering the full width of the screen.  Then I went into the
menu, and clicked station-configure, and I got an instant segfault -
crash back to the terminal.  That explained why I had not entered my
call and coordinates back in August.  I decided to re-build Xastir
using the same source code from August.

Configure looks OK.

Didn't see any errors on make, either.

Launched Xastir - configure station window appeared as expected -
decided to fill in my station information while the window was there,
and it worked.  I changed to online tigermaps, and they worked.  Then
I added an internet server - crash - segfault - launched Xastir again
and tried adding the internet server again, and it crashed again - the
2nd time with more text showing in the terminal - the terminal output
for the entire sequence is at

Then I ran Xastir in debug mode, and added an internet server again.
The debug output is

Not to be lacking information :-) , below are the packages that were
installed from the repositories:

cvs
autoconf
automake

ImageMagick
gv
libxp-devel
libax25_0-devel
lesstif-devel
tcl

libMagick10.4.0-devel
libcurl4-devel
pcre
libpcre0-devel
libdb4.6-devel

proj
proj-devel
geotiff
geotiff.devel
gdal
gdal-devel
festival
festival-devel

I also installed gpsman and gpsmanshp from...
http://www.ncc.up.pt/gpsman/gpsmanhtml/gpsman-6.4-2.noarch.rpm
and
http://www.ncc.up.pt/gpsmanshp/gpsmanshp-1.1-0.fdr.1.i386.rpm
and finally,(it's all coming back to me now!) I used get-maptools.sh
to install shapelib from source in order to keep gpsmanshp happy
during its installation.

So, no problems compiling, but Xastir 1.95 from August (CVS) is
definitely not stable in PCLinuxOS 2009.2.
